[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 978235, member: 24160"] And I'm a dummy too. This is just one of those cases why it's almost impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network when you're not there in person. Ok so here's the deal... when I connected my MBP up to the Time Machine, I didn't pull the actual cable off the HTPC. I pulled the one off the HD-DVD because it was easier to reach. So when Dennis said "same cable", made me start thinking... and sure enough, the cable I had attached to the HTPC was one I'd had around for years and was only Cat5. Pulled it out, put a Cat5E cable on and [B]BAM[/B] - that same 7.6 GB folder started off at a whopping 90MBps and gradually petered off to a measley 58MBps at the end. Didn't time it, but it was approx 1 minute vs the 12 minutes I was getting to move that same folder to the server. The 23 GB single file didn't fair so well, but at least now I've got something to work with. So, anyone need a new PCI-E gigabit NIC that's on it's way? [/QUOTE]
